Chapter 204

Guangtai helped both of their Pokémon recover. As a Medicine-type Elite, the most in his backpack is of course various medicines.

Max Revives restore the Pokémon's vitality, Pokéblocks fill their energy, Sinnoh Secret Medicine improves physical fitness, then drink Chinese medicine juice to eliminate all injuries, and then eat a Golden Apple, so they instantly returned to their peak posture!

Even Zhu Lan sighed that this set of medicine family buckets is really rare in the outside world. There are many medicines to restore injuries, but it is rare to see those that can restore physical fitness!

Many times, if a Pokémon consumes too much stamina in a battle and is injured before the battle, then even if the injury is restored with medicine, the hidden danger still exists in the body, and it will break out from time to time, which greatly affects the level of battle, and may even be life-threatening to the Pokémon.

The Stage of Light is also called the Three Illusion Stage by the ancient Johto people.

Zhu Lan's heart was pounding. When she took the pendant from Guangtai's hand, a mysterious power surged out from the pendant, guiding her with a clear purpose.

Step onto that stage... There was a vague voice echoing in her heart, hazy and unreal, but Zhu Lan knew that the voice existed.

"The emblem image on the Three Illusion Stage is very similar to the murals in Sinnoh Town... Sure enough, the results investigated at the beginning were correct."

"Whether it is the Ruins of Alph or Sinnoh Town, there is this strange triangle. On the plates found all over Sinnoh, incredible characters are carved: 'That thing put the two Pokémon of time and space into the world as clones'... And now everything is finally revealed."

"I once thought that 'that thing' referred to Giratina. Later, after research, I thought that the three origins represented by the triangle did not just refer to the gods in the lake, maybe it also referred to time and space, and finally Giratina..."

Zhu Lan looked at Guangtai.

Guangtai: "Haha, if Giratina put the two gods of time and space into the world, it should be very happy about this 'statement'."

Although it is just a folk wild history investigation, if Arceus can be mistaken for Giratina, the latter will of course be happy if it finds out.

Hey, this wild history is really wild and historical! But isn't it good to make the two gods of time and space look ugly!

"That coward doesn't have that much ability." Luo also smiled when he heard it, falling into a short memory: "However, you were actually able to investigate Giratina, it's really not simple."

Sure enough, it is worthy of being his great-granddaughter.

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Lan's gaze moved slightly: "What kind of Pokémon is Giratina?"

"Cowardly and weak, violent and incompetent." This is the evaluation given by Luo, making Zhu Lan's expression look dull. Luo crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked up slightly to recall the past:

"Very contradictory, but this is Giratina. The violent clone was banished to the back of the world and can bring down the thunder of anger for life."

"That guy is something that was expelled!"

Luo sighed helplessly: "Because it was driven to the opposite side of the world by Arceus, it holds resentment. It has always been unpleasant to its two brothers, and it really wants to resist Arceus!"

"The most ridiculous thing is that the faith of that guy was lost a long time ago. Now Sinnoh doesn't have 'Sinnoh Temple Ruins', right?"

Zhu Lan's eyes lit up, and she shook her head slightly: "Indeed, it is a ruin name I have never heard of."

"Disappeared." Luo waved his hand: "Many ruins were lost with the development of the city. As for why they were lost, I don't know."

"The Sinnoh Temple was destroyed a long, long time ago. Originally, three Pokémon were enshrined on the mountain road of the temple. Giratina was one of them, but I don't know when someone destroyed its stone statue and moved it out of the mountain road, throwing it to a remote place."

"This guy originally guarded the Spirit Plate of Sinnoh... It is a plate that can improve the power of Ghost Pokémon. In the Hisui era a long time ago, every plate was guarded by corresponding Pokémon."

"I had a past with it before, and I got the plate from it. It wanted to cooperate with me to resist Arceus... However, this plan has already failed, and our story has also been discarded in history."

【That guy is actually slandering Me!】

Guangtai was originally listening to Luo's complaints in front of the two, pouring negative content about Giratina into Zhu Lan, the great-granddaughter. As a result, Giratina's voice rang directly in Guangtai's soul, quite annoyed!

【It's clearly that guy's strength is not enough! I have tried my best to help him!】

【I... I want to come out! Clarify myself!】

"Do you really want to come out? Something incredible will happen next."

Guangtai asked Giratina in his soul: "You are talking about the Hisui era, right."

【You know... This is normal, after all, you still have traces of time and space on you.】

【Because I was defeated by that person, because I really couldn't beat her, I could only choose to protect Hisui. The failure back then still makes me tremble when I recall it. If it weren't for me, Luo would have been beaten to his knees by her!】

【Hmm... The incredible thing you mentioned, could it be that I just watched the battle between these two people from beginning to end, you said... the winner can stand on the Stage of Light and summon Arceus's phantom?】

【... That's just a phantom!】

"Do you want to join forces with the winner to challenge it?"

This temporary proposal made by Guangtai made Giratina silent for a while!

Actually, a little tempted!

Luo, that lying dog, definitely can't win against Arceus's phantom, but his great-granddaughter looks very promising. It seems like she is a descendant of a human champion. It's really promising.

Guangtai was also imagining things at this time.

When Zhu Lan and Arceus's phantom fought until the team was wiped out, suddenly black gas appeared behind her, and then Zhu Lan's painting style changed and she shouted "Come out, Giratina"... Oh, this is not what Luo did before, high emotional intelligence should be called a reprint.

Pretty cool.

【I'll watch first.】

After deep thinking, Giratina decided to stand by for a while. This is not called cowardice, this is called "knowing yourself and knowing the enemy"! Let's see how Arceus's phantom makes moves first, and when it finally appears, it will have a bottom line, right!

【By the way! Hurry up and help me clarify my identity! Don't let Luo tarnish my reputation! Although I was indeed expelled here, I also have the important responsibility of ruling the Inverted World and supporting the reality world!】

【What's more, the Inverted World now is completely different from before! Luo is just purely hating my escape, but at that time he didn't have any Pokémon that could fight. Do you want me to fight to the death for him! I am not his Pokémon! Just a cooperative contractor!】

Giratina was anxious in the Inverted World, wishing it could jump out now and give Luo a Dragon Tail, while Luo was still adding oil and vinegar to Zhu Lan, saying bad things about Giratina, making his granddaughter stunned.

But fortunately, Zhu Lan is also a well-known archaeologist, and naturally keenly noticed that there are some "private goods" in these words of Luo.

"Giratina is an important Pokémon that rules the antimatter world, is located on the back of the world, and supports the reality world." Guangtai interrupted Luo's endless slander and began to "rectify the name" for Giratina:

"There is no distinction between heaven and earth in that world, time is almost stagnant, and space is twisted and uncertain. It exists as Arceus's shadow. If Giratina's maintenance of the Inverted World is lost, terrible disasters will also appear in the reality world."

Luo doesn't know this point, so at first Luo just shook his head slightly and hummed in a low voice, but when Guangtai mentioned the corresponding relationship between the Inverted World and the reality world, Luo raised his eyebrows and stopped making any sound completely.

Next, let this Messenger of God, the descendant of the Sinnoh people, reveal the lost mythology that has been pursued for many years for himself and for Zhu Lan!

Zhu Lan also listened quietly, asking questions from time to time:

"Terrible disaster?"

Guangtai: "There should be someone in the reality world who has studied the Inverted World... That world can also be called the Broken World. Miss Zhu Lan, have you heard the name Mugen Graceland? It should be this name."

"No, I have no impression." Zhu Lan's eyes were full of curiosity: "It's really incredible, the content about Giratina should have been investigated recently."

"He should have found some lost literature."

Zhu Lan wrote down this name, but soon she understood the state of this person now.

"He should be in the Inverted World. I mentioned him just to explain the corresponding relationship between the Inverted World and the reality world."

"There are 'pillars' in the Inverted World, which have a corresponding relationship with the matter of the reality world. If the matter of the Inverted World collapses, the mountains and rivers of the reality world will also collapse."

Zhu Lan's expression became solemn.

Such an important world is dominated by a violent Pokémon... However, no chaos has appeared in the reality world for such a long time?

"It seems that legends are not all true. If Giratina is really very violent, if the material properties of the Inverted World are really as you said, then the reality world should have been destroyed long ago, right?"

Zhu Lan looked at Luo with a hint of teasing smile. The latter widened his eyes, his expression surprised: "Hey, hey, it never said such things!"

"If you knew, you would probably go to destroy the Inverted World directly. Giratina is not stupid; it is very smart."

Guangtai praised Giratina a little, and the latter nodded frequently in the Inverted World!

That's right, I am quite witty!

Luo wants to reset the world, I don't have this idea, I just want to beat Arceus! So, of course, it's impossible to tell Luo about the Inverted World, wouldn't the contradiction run to me!

Luo: "This guy is really a despicable thing!"

【"Gaa!"】 — from Giratina's insults.

Luo was annoyed: "But even if those pillars were destroyed, it has nothing to do with restarting the world, right? Does it think I would do such a stupid thing? I just want to see Arceus, other destructive behaviors are meaningless!"

"A long time ago..." After finishing Giratina's importance, Guangtai began to describe the ancient story for Zhu Lan from the beginning:

"Before the birth of the universe, only it breathed alone. The place where the universe was born is also the place where it originated. At the time of the birth of the universe, its fragments turned into plates."

"This is the inscription on the ancient plate, telling about the initial Arceus. It used itself as a light source to shine on the land of Hisui from the sky. However, the Arceus we see is not the real Him."

"I mentioned it before, Arceus in other worlds."

"Mr. Luo, your friend once collected all the plates, including the last 19th plate that cannot be found now. Do you remember the words on the plate?"

"It watches Pokémon and humans in all universes."

Zhu Lan and Luo were both smart people, and they understood immediately.

"There is more than one Arceus, and there is one in every world, so they are actually..."

"Clones." Guangtai affirmed their conjecture and gave a definite answer: "So, Arceus is both a God and a Pokémon. He is with the world, formulated everything here, and is also observing every living creature."

"His power is not false, it's just that the real Him is greater than the Him we know."

"How is this possible... The God I have been pursuing for so long is..." Luo's body trembled slightly. This answer made his thoughts suddenly confused.

"In other words..." Luo suddenly despaired: "Even if I find Arceus, He will not create a new world for me, because that kind of world already exists."

"It may also allow you to go directly to that world. If you want to travel, where would you go?" Guangtai suddenly said so, pulling Luo's almost collapsing emotions back to reality.

"Eh... leave this world to travel?"

Guangtai: "If you can get approval and be truly recognized, and be considered a person urgently needed by a certain world, maybe it can be done. Just like when that person fell from the space-time crack in front of you a long time ago."

Luo was silent.

Just this piece of information, he had to spend a lot of emotions and willpower to absorb, stabilize, and think.

And Zhu Lan was becoming more and more interested.

She didn't know Luo's past, just longing for the things Guangtai described, and looking further away:

"All universes and worlds... too far away, we haven't even explored the land under our feet clearly."

"This is the Pokémon called God."

Guangtai pointed to the Stage of Light: "The Sinnoh people in ancient times used music and dance to show Arceus's great power."

"A long time ago, Arceus was born from an egg in the void, creating countless worlds with a thousand arms."

"The clone of Arceus that came to our world was enshrined as the 'Great Sinnoh One' by the ancient Sinnoh people. At that time, the world was the world of Pokémon."

"In ancient times, two gods existed together. One watched the passage of time, and one watched the vastness of the earth and sky. In order to seek the future after the future, they wanted to explore the end of the world. The two gods went their own ways, accompanied by the Great Sinnoh One. This is the birth of Dialga and Palkia, and the third Giratina was given the back of the world, supporting the whole world."

"The birth of one Pokémon brought knowledge and brought abundance and wealth. The birth of the second Pokémon brought emotions and experienced joy and sadness. The birth of the third Pokémon made people know how to make up their minds and move forward..."

"This is the origin of the Lake Gods. Uxie brought wisdom to humans, Mesprit let humans have emotions, Azelf gifted humans willpower, and they hatched from the same egg."

"Without claws or teeth, humans are so fragile in front of Pokémon. One day, lightning fell from the sky and hit ten Pokémon. The Pokémon hit by lightning have since become the help of fragile humans."

"A legendary hero led ten Pokémon to challenge Arceus. In that great war, Arceus recognized the strength of humans, and the descendants of those ten Pokémon became the kings of the Hisui region."

"After the great war ended, Arceus returned to a world that did not belong to humans, and His plates were scattered in various places in Hisui, guarded by different Pokémon."

"In order to enshrine Arceus, the Sinnoh people built the Sinnoh Temple for Him on the top of Mount Coronet."

"The Heavenly Mountain is the place closest to the Great Sinnoh One. The power of the Great Sinnoh One gathers on the Heavenly Mountain and turns into ore. The power born from the ore makes the surrounding magnetic field twist. This mountain is now Mount Coronet."

"Let human intentions reach the high sky! Such wishes spread among people, prompting people to pile stones on the peak of the Heavenly Mountain. People and Pokémon moved stones together, and people carved the gathered stones into the shape of Pokémon. The ten carved Pokémon are exactly those that were once illuminated by the light of the Great Sinnoh One."

"After that, when the sun hid its traces, everyone sighed with sadness. Chasing the sun, everyone went far away. Only Pokémon still lived here. The place mentioned here is ancient Sinnoh."

"The sun disappeared?! It turns out that the disaster that caused the ancient Sinnoh people to migrate mentioned in ancient literature is such a thing, but how could the sun suddenly disappear?"

Zhu Lan stared at the stage in front of her solemnly, listening to the truth of the legend told by Guangtai.

"If Arceus was really watching the ancient Sinnoh people, why did He let such things happen?"

"Yes, then this question must go to find the Michina people living in the Sinnoh land." Guangtai answered shallowly: "But it is not the time to see them now. Even if you see them, nothing will happen."

"But the disappearance of the sun may have nothing to do with them."

Maybe it has something to do with the "Light Predator" in a distant region, but Guangtai doesn't know this point either.

"The land of Hisui and Sinnoh have similar properties, so the ancient Sinnoh people settled here. At the same time, unknown disasters also occurred in the Johto region and Hoenn region. People from Hoenn came to Johto and built a solid Embedded Tower."

"People in Johto continued to move north, mixed with the Sinnoh people, and built the Sinnoh Temple in the image of the Sinnoh Temple, as well as this sacred Stage of Light. The music and dance dedicated to Arceus were later brought back to Johto and became the dance to call Ho-Oh and Lugia."

"The Sinjoh people can make Arceus descend and make God bless them. And on the Stage of Light, the only Pokémon enshrined is Arceus!"

"And then..." Guangtai paused.

"Once Arceus stands on the Stage of Light, time and space and the antimatter world are born!"

Zhu Lan's breathing stopped suddenly.

She realized instantly what kind of place she was standing in!

The Stage of Light is not just a stage for enshrinement, it is also... a place to create all things!

"Could it be?!"

Guangtai: "Yes, maybe a long time ago, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina were born here. Under the gaze of the Sinjoh people, they initially descended into this world in the form of eggs."

"So, Pokémon eggs always appear suddenly. It is a sacred thing, a great container that nurtures life. It has no beginning. Even the Sinnoh three gods are the same. Life born from eggs will eventually run out, and then, be born again as a new life."

Creating time, space, and antimatter, that is the true function of the Stage of Light!

At this moment, Zhu Lan felt her whole body trembling. All the puzzles of the past were solved here, the clouds covering her heart were completely dispelled, the sun filled her heart, illuminating the path of mythology, making her feel as if she had returned to the ancient era!

"Step up." Guangtai gave way to the path forward. The pendant in Zhu Lan's hand faintly emitted light, and the three emblems on the Stage of Light, which were originally colorless, were suddenly dyed with colors!

Blue, pink, black-red, the three emblems were shining, waiting for the chosen person.

Zhu Lan stepped onto the Stage of Light, followed Guangtai's request, did not choose any emblem, and just held the pendant high in the large ring in the center.

Brilliant light erupted from the pendant, and the whole stage glowed with huge light. The Unown, who had been waiting for a long time, finally had a chance to play. They formed a huge energy vortex around Zhu Lan. This scene was exactly the same as the scene when the world was created in the plot of the Sinjoh Ruins!

In that huge energy tide, a sacred Pokémon with a white body was "created" by the Unown!

After that, the whole scene began to flicker, and the three people present fell into a huge illusion!

"Arceus's power to create the universe, even if only a part is shown, this power is enough to give birth to new life from nothing!"

"Don't be nervous, keep watching!"

Guangtai comforted Zhu Lan and Luo, and the three began to walk in the illusion created by Arceus. All things became chaotic and dark, a huge light shone in front of the three, the light expanded outward, turned into a white ring, the middle became a black hole, and then, more gorgeous seven-colored brilliance burst out from the center of the hole!

The deep blue starry sky appeared, the deep red shining starry sky appeared, and the golden hollow nebula appeared.

The emblems of the Stage of Light changed, becoming more complicated arrays, trees, oceans, reefs, rainbows, blue sky and white clouds, high-rise buildings, steel machinery, electric astronomy, volcanic lightning, tidal lava, atmospheric cells, and finally, the ring and the planet merged into one.

"This, what on earth is this..."

"The process of creating the world." Guangtai had already seen this "broadcast" in the game, but what he saw in the game was PPT. Now experiencing it personally, the sense of shock is beyond addition, and the other two people who knew nothing about this were completely unable to make other expressions.

Luo was even more like a fool looking up at Arceus in front of him, murmuring: "The Pokémon called God..."

"..." That sacred, white-bodied Pokémon with a huge golden wheel on its body stared at Zhu Lan quietly. Of course, Arceus's gaze also shifted, fell on Guangtai, and looked at Luo again.

He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

This is just a "temporary phantom" created by the Unown.

"Drink this." Guangtai took out "Star Berry Wine." Facing Zhu Lan's surprised expression, he explained simply:

"This is wine brewed from Star Berries. This kind of berry is a very precious phantom berry. It contains huge power. After drinking the wine, one of the random stats will increase by two levels, and it will increase potential confidence and action power, and will also appear in a state of self-motivation."

Arceus did not react to Guangtai's behavior. He seemed to be very looking forward to his chosen one being able to fight a beautiful battle.

"One more thing, I want to warn you." Guangtai warned Zhu Lan with a serious expression:

"Although this is just a phantom, his combat power is no different from Arceus's real body! So... maybe he will also have the power of plates!"

"Arceus with all the plates is almost invincible. He will freely switch his own plate type, making the type attacks that were originally effective against him become ineffective or even invalid! You must look at the color change on Arceus to make a move!"

"So, when necessary, you can also go into battle yourself. Arceus will not mind. As for effective attack items, have you heard of Sticky Glob?"

Guangtai glanced at the alpaca and found that the other party's eyes seemed a bit playful.

【Arceus (Phantom): Of course.】

That voice of God rang in the minds of the three, but Zhu Lan's expression was a bit confused.

"I... I also have to go up? I know!"

No-rules wild fighting, right!

Hmm, I am not a master in this regard!

Zhu Lan held the Poké Ball in her hand tightly. After being prepared, her first move was Spiritomb!

This is Zhu Lan's standard lineup. In most cases, she will choose this way, letting Spiritomb, which has the fewest weaknesses, go up first for consumption and probing, but for Spiritomb.

It also ate a lot of secret medicine and apples like other Pokémon before, feeling that its state was terrifyingly strong, able to wear six Pokémon of the Elite Four level, but seeing the tall alpaca in front of it, the happy smile on Spiritomb's face suddenly turned into unhappiness.

Its gaseous body turned to look at Zhu Lan:

"Sssss-pa?"

I fight Arceus?!

Really or fake!

Even if I don't have any weaknesses, I can't...

Forget it, I've already come to challenge, so don't be cowardly. Spiritomb cheered itself up, while Guangtai and Luo had already left the stage. At this time, the venue of the Stage of Light began to change. The original ruin roof turned into a brilliant starry sky, and the "stone stage" on the ground also turned into a dark venue shining with deep blue brilliance!

"Hall of Origin!"

Sure enough, if they really started fighting in the scene of the Sinjoh Ruins, the ruins would basically be ruined after the fight, just like in the special chapter.

Arceus didn't want to add more repair burdens to this ruin, so it thoughtfully replaced the environment here with the scene of the "Hall of Origin"!

Then, since the venue has been replaced, what will happen next is self-evident.

Phantoms of eighteen plates appeared around Arceus!

That's right, eighteen, because the "Blank Plate" of the Normal type must be added!

Except for the 19th "Legend Plate" that was not revealed, all other plates had appeared in front of Zhu Lan, and dazzling huge light gathered on Arceus's forehead!

And the color on Arceus changed, pink... Fairy type! Two times restraint against Ghost + Dark Pokémon!

Judgment!

Super effective against Spiritomb!

Of course, Giratina, who was staying in the Inverted World at this time, nodded, and a light bulb lit up on its head!

Oh oh oh! Oh right, there is also that thing!

Isn't there some Star Berry Wine in the oak barrel in the Inverted World! I'll let them drink it all in a while!

Maybe it will be a little helpful!

【In a while, when that champion wipes out the team, remember to let her stand on my emblem!】
